However, more understandings can be obtained if we relax the assumption of self-regarding to incorporate other-regarding preferences. Positive other-regarding preferences can enhance cooperation even without effective law enforcement. However cooperation has its two sides, i.e., it can result in either positive or negative externalities, e.g., corruption is the type of cooperation that will lead to social welfare loss. Although other-regarding preferences and their characteristics as caring self more than others, family members and friends (or other in-group members) more than strangers (out-group members) are likely to be innate in all human beings, the degree of how much one cares more about self than others, in-group members than out-group members evolve over time and interact with the environment, such as culture. I hypothesize that characteristics of ORPs are embedded in culture and differ systematically from one society to another in terms of the level of individualism, the level of particularism towards in-group members. These characteristics can facilitate corruption, for instance, in the following way: particularism creates on one hand a “moral”justification for favoritism, on the other hand, the a posteriori enforcement of corrupt contracts. In my presentation, i will present some of the pilot experiment results and I also hope to collect some feedbacks on my revised experiment design. |
